    For a 62.5 truck,, 4k is about the best you'll get, heavy loads plus mountains plus load times will prevent you from getting anything over 4K guarantee it

    If you gotta run 4K a week to make a living you’re working for the wrong company.

    Exactly. Getting paid 30 some cents/ mile is for rookies and ex cons working their way back into society!

    If you need to run more than 1800-2500 miles per week. You are running for the wrong company. 3500-4000 mile weeks should be a every once in a long while runs.

    My all-time record is 4,250 miles in seven days. In that span was a Connecticut to Laredo, then Laredo to Boston. The account I was on was all drop and hook. Fast and loose. Fun sometimes, but kind of a grind.

    I also know I will NEVER approach those numbers again.
